Blank View Screen

Focus camera will not focus, even sight screen is out of focus
The camera will not focus. When switched on it beeps with a flashing green light near rthe view-finder and the lens housing extends. This repeats and the then the viewing screen goes blank. Pressing the AEL button will illuminate the viewing screen, but it is out of focus. Half depression of the shutter makes no difference. I had previously some intermittent operation of the zoom mechanism. The camera has not been dropped or jarred.

Your camera is having a problem positioning the lens unit, more than likely the cause is grit/dirt in mechanism, I recommend that you take the camera to a autorised service agent to have it stripped, cleaned and rebuilt. This is not really a repair t ...

Its currently stuck in video mode so i can record and view it on the computer but i cannot see what i am recording via the touch screen. i thought it was the screen so i got a replacement of ebay but that still hasnt fixed it. This all occurred from a minor drop. It was sitting on its bottom on the table and got tapped forward and has had a blank screen ever since.. approx 2years old.

It might have a hairline crack or broken connection in one of the circuitry inside. I'm sure you might be able to find it coz you were able to replace the screen your self (?) good luck! ...

Hello - I purchased a Panasonic Lumix DMC-T265 about a year ago in England. (I recently moved back to the US and all my belongings are in transit somewhere between here and England.) I went up to Mount Evans a few weeks ago, and the viewing screen of the camera just blanked out - the top 1/2 inch of the screen is still present, but the majority of the screen is blank, with a few vertical "lines". Can you tell me how I can get help repairing it? Is there anything I can do to trouble shoot it?

I have a Cannon Powershot A630, the display only goes black when I flip the screen facing me when trying to take the picture otherwise the screen works fine. Also when I flip the screen towards the front of the camera so people can view what they look like the view of them is upside down can anyone help?

Blank screen on the view screen. cannot see anything from view lens.i am trying to look at finder but nothing you can see.

No picture I have a FinePix S2 Pro that I have had a couple years. Yesterday when I took pictures with it every picture is black when viewed on the LCD screen. The lens cap is off and I have tried several different lenses and memory cards, adjusted the ISO, tried it with and without a flash, but still the same result. I can view previously recorded pictures, so I know its not the LCD screen. Could the CCD have gone bad? Any thoughts by anyone?

My S2 is on its second out of warranty CCD, and Fuji replaced both for free, the first was due to the same dead CCD as many has had, the second was due to the CCD being defective to the point of being off center and producing photos that had a very d ...

Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 Problem: Camera is not saving photos Hi, my camera started responding very slugglishly yesterday. I took a few pictures, and some of them wouldn't save.
